tbigg: Try switching from bars to bells. They give you a better stretch at the bottom of the rep, and have blasted me out of a previous plateau much like yours. Give this a try for a few weeks, then strength test yourself against a bar like you're loading up now. You may be surprised. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO! IP: Logged |

Find what works for YOU, not Flex Wheeler or Ronnie Coleman. I respond a lot better to low sets, medium to high reps. IP: Logged |

try clenching your shoulder blades together when doing chest exercises, make sure you focus on the chest muscle. think it chest muscles. IP: Logged |

Here's my favorite. 1) Bench Press: 6,5,4,3 (start with most you can get for 6 and add 10 pounds on each following set. 2) Incline Press: 6,8,10,12 3) Dumbell Chest Press: 8,8,8 4) Cable Flys: 12,10,8 (put bench under cables and do from bottom) 5) Weighted dips: 15,15,15 I do each bodypart only once a week which is why so much. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Curious, I just started this method FUKKENSHREDDED uses. Where you don't count the reps per set just take each set of the excercise to failure. I had to lay down I was so tired when I finished. I've never been so exhausted. Did you ever try this? IP: Logged |

i have two chest workouts...one time i use mostly barbell, the next i use mostly dumbells...but in both ill dedicate the last 3 sets to very strict form, deep stretches and real good peak contractions on some sort of machine, where my first 6 sets are your typical power type sets, by the way, i do pyramid 10-8-6 on each exercise IP: Logged |

ulter, i have tried the failure thing in the past and it did work well until i pulled a pec muscle. that has kept me from trying it but i might as well do it again but with more form and i will use the dumbells so i can get the best out of both worlds thanx. IP: Logged |

My partner and just completed Shawn Philips bench press routine "add 40lbs. to your bench". And I'm telling you it was a great 6-weeks. we both worked up to a 315 and 300 max at the end of six weeks. My partner and I have not done any roids, yet. Here is a couple of web sites with pretty much the same thing but one prints out better. Give this a serious try, what else have you got to do for 6-weeks. www.interport.net/~dl/bench.html www.musclemedia.com/training/bench/benchintro.asp IP: Logged |

I have to agree that the Shawn Phillips routine kicks ass. I have done it before and it really works. Bill Kazmier has a much better routine to add more like 90-100lbs to your bench in a month but I can not find it. If you do find it then send me an e-mail. Later, IP: Logged |
